Transferring to the Paras

Post by df2inaus »

The opportunity to attend P Coy and transfer to the Paras from another regiment should remain open in the future.

Don't worry about that now, though. Just get stuck into your 24 or whatever weeks at Catterick and enjoy what the Devon and Dorsets have to offer. If you still think you're missing out on greener grass after a while in the battalion, perhaps years, then give it some serious thought and go through he channels. How do you think you'd be received in the battalion if you were RTU'd from P Coy?
